You'll never take King's Landing with THAT! Game Of Thrones star Kit Harington poses with plastic dragon at Universal Studios

He's been linked to the Mother of Dragons in real life, but Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has yet to cross paths with Emilia Clarke's Daenerys Targaryen and her fire-breathing charges in the hit HBO show.

When, or if, he ever does, his brave alter-ego might find them a little more frightening than the plastic dragon he was greeted with at an Extra screening in L.A's Universal Studios on Thursday.

The 27-year-old from Worcester, England broke into peals of laughter when he was confronted with the makeshift mythical beast.

The young actor has said he wants to find a 'solid' relationship but admits he feels his parents have a good marriage because they met 'well into their 30s.'

He recently broke up with his former on-screen flame, Rose Leslie, who plays Wildling Ygritte.

There's no ill will between the co-stars, however, as they were spotted out as a threesome in L.A. in February.
